Crucifixus etiam pro nobis
sub Pontio Pilato
Passus et sepultus est
and he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate
suffered and was buried

These wonderful settings by Lotti may have been parts of complete masses (from the Creed), now lost.
The use of suspensions in the harmony to enhance the emotional impact of the words, particularly in the 8 part setting, is classic.
I have transposed down a third to fit my range.
